Ronda Rousey Contemplated Suicide After Holly Holm Knockout

“I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself, and that exact second I’m like, ‘I’m nothing. What do I do anymore? And no one gives a shit about me anymore without this.’ To be honest, I looked up and I saw my man, Travis, was standing up there and I looked up at him and I was like, I need to have his babies. I need to stay alive.”

Jeeeez. Say that last part in a normal relationship and the guy runs for the door faster than Ronda hit the floor. Seriously the strangest thought in that whole interview. I can look at the suicide comments and chalk them up to a concussion, or maybe a fighter of Ronda’s calibur’s mental stability. Possibly even just Ronda’s mental stability. Her father killed himself, and that makes it three times more likely for you to kill yourself. Tyson went crazy in the 90s, it’s normal for fighters. But for Ronda to say the sole thing keeping her from doing that was having Travis Browne’s babies, well fuck. She’s lost it. The thought of having Travis Browne’s babies makes me want to kill myself.

Bethe Correia of all people turned out to be right about Rousey, too. She was not mentally capable of losing a fight. Imagine that.
